Comparison of clinical outcomes in women with surgically treated early primary cervical cancer: Lymphadenectomy versus sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Background: The primary objective of this study was to elucidate the impact of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and biopsy techniques on the clinical outcomes of women with early primary cervical cancer.

Methods: All consecutive women with clinically determined stage I-IIA cervical cancer who underwent lymph node assessment with either SLN mapping or conventional pelvic/para-aortic lymphadenectomy were reviewed.

Results: Women in the SLN group (n=33) had fewer total dissected pelvic nodes (8.

Predictors for the Recurrence of Clinically Uterine-Confined Endometrial Cancer and the Role of Cytokeratin Immunohistochemistry Stain in the Era of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping.

Background: The primary objective of this study was to elucidate the predictors for cancer recurrence in women with clinically uterine-confined endometrial cancer in the era of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping.

Methods: All consecutive women with clinically determined uterine-confined endometrial cancer who had lymph node assessment by either SLN mapping or traditional pelvic lymphadenectomy were reviewed.

Results: Women in the SLN mapping group had lower total dissected pelvic nodes, lower incidence of para-aortic lymph node dissection, less intraoperative blood loss and lower complication rates, but a longer operation time compared to the traditional lymphadenectomy group.

Yolk sac tumor of endometrium: A case report and literature review.

Objective: To report a rare case of endometrial yolk sac tumor (YST) and review published cases of YST of the endometrium.

Case Report: A 68-year-old female presented with intermittent vaginal spotting for nine months. An endometrial biopsy showed adenocarcinoma.
